Good Luck!

Run Fast, Auntie Kaitlin!

Little did we know the 2013 Boston Marathon would turn out to be iconic and remembered by millions of people - sadly for the wrong reasons.

For those of you not in the know, Auntie Kaitlin ran in it. The night before, Mom and Laura put together a sign to show our support. Who would've thunk that we should have added, "Be Safe!" to it. Laura did a wonderful job with drawing and coloring. FYI- she was overly concerned if Kaitlin would like a white "O" in the word "good."

From what we have heard, Uncle Michael and Auntie Kaitlin are safe and flying back home tonight.

Spring Fever!

Oh, for the love of Garden!

Is it Spring or Winter?

Our house is clamoring for warm weather. We want to play outside. Who would have thought that on April 11th, we would have snow on the ground and a long-range forecast that calls for temps to remain in the 40s!?! My poor little plants are beginning to grow with no sign of garden dirt in sight. 

In the meantime, we have been talking about what we will do when it's nice outside. Laura is very excited to play with birthday presents (bubbles, jump rope, glitter chalk), swim in the pool, ride her bike, water strawberries (a new plant for us), go to Ruttger's, ride on grandma and grandpa's pontoon, ride her trike and scooter, and of course, play on the deck and park. 

As for Ryan, I am excited to take him on walks to the lake to feed ducks or whatever water critter is roaming around.

We had a very short taste of the outdoors last Sunday and hope another chance comes soon.

The Table Is Back!

You may remember when Laura was one year old, we had a musical/sound table (from Miss Meghan) to entertain her while she learned how to stand. By the time Laura was one, she learned to walk and this table became obsolete. 

Lately, Ryan has been crawling and pulling himself up on any and every object in sight. It was a no-brainer that now was the time to get this musical table back from Ms. Meghan.
